Your proposed law to rescind the ad ban actually has a chance of success. There are more than 100,000 citizens organizations of various types in this country. (25,000 of them are large enough and active enough to have professional, trade and/or lobbying offices in D.C.)

ALL of these organizations have just had THEIR freedom of speech, and of their members, gut shot by the Supreme Court. These are organizations on the right, left and middle. If a substantial number of them sign on to DEMAND that Congress repeal this aspect of this law, they would dwarf the strength of AARP (38 million). Heck, the group might include AARP.

THAT would be enough to force Congress to pass this repeal, just as fast as it passed the reestablishment of the "no call" rule on telebmarketers. And, FreeRepublic could play an important role in getting this done.
